net.sf.saxon.expr.sort.GroupMatchingIterator

net.sf.saxon.expr.sort.GroupStartingIterator

All Implemented Interfaces:

LastPositionFinder, GroupIterator, SequenceIterator, LookaheadIterator

public class GroupStartingIterator
extends GroupMatchingIterator
implements LookaheadIterator, GroupIterator

A GroupStartingIterator iterates over a sequence of groups defined by xsl:for-each-group group-starting-with="x". The groups are returned in order of first appearance.

Constructor Detail

GroupStartingIterator

public GroupStartingIterator(Expression select,
                             Pattern startPattern,
                             XPathContext context)
                      throws XPathException

Throws:

XPathException

Method Detail

getLength

public int getLength()
              throws XPathException

Description copied from interface: LastPositionFinder

Get the last position (that is, the number of items in the sequence). This method is non-destructive: it does not change the state of the iterator. The result is undefined if the next() method of the iterator has already returned null. This method must not be called unless the result of getProperties() on the iterator includes the bit setting SequenceIterator.LAST_POSITION_FINDER

Specified by:

getLength in interface LastPositionFinder

Returns:

the number of items in the sequence

Throws:

XPathException - if an error occurs evaluating the sequence in order to determine the number of items

advance

protected void advance()
                throws XPathException

Specified by:

advance in class GroupMatchingIterator

Throws:

XPathException
